  • 99% of our graduates are employed or continuing education within six months of graduation.
  • Students earn $4 in additional earnings over their lifetime for every $1 they invest in their UW-Stout education.
  • The average annual rate of return for a UW-Stout degree is 15.2%.

Earning an education is no small decision. That's why we believe in making a UW-Stout degree the best value possible. Most of our undergraduate programs only require 120 credits to graduate, your textbooks are free (rather than an additional cost) or can be rented, and we offer $2m+ in scholarships each year to help fund your education.
